What a happy day.
The fog cleared early in the morning and I was working in the garden.
The hummingbird stopped on the honeysuckle.
There is nothing I want in this world.
I know no one deserves my envy.
I have forgotten any evil I have suffered.
I'm not embarrassed to think that I'm still the same.
I feel no pain.
When I stood up, I saw the blue sea and sails.

I really can't find the poetry collection of the gift you mentioned ~ ~ ~

Nowadays, a so-called fashionable wind of treating guests and giving gifts is surging in rural areas and towns. There are various names for treating guests. The name of the ceremony is no exception. Let's call it a social ceremony, such as wedding, funeral, birthday, graduation, joining the army, having children, adult ceremony, housewarming ceremony, etc. There are many names, and the scale of trusteeship seats is getting bigger and bigger.
It is true that weddings and funerals have the custom of treating guests and giving gifts since ancient times, and it is also a good platform to integrate the relationship between people. It is the embodiment of social harmony. It is also one of the excellent traditional cultures of our Chinese nation. But today, this beautiful tradition has been passed down. In today's real life, some people are keen on it and regard it as a way of life in people's daily life. Treating guests and giving gifts is often misinterpreted as a sign to measure whether a person is generous, capable, fashionable and so on. It is somewhat similar to the social apportionment more than ten years ago, but this kind of apportionment is very folk. So no one publicly said it was a burden, let alone an unhealthy and uncivilized social atmosphere. More and more people suffer or enjoy silently in voluntary and involuntary.
Frequent entertainment and gifts have become a heavy burden for individuals and families. In particular, farmers are often keen on this, and the cost of input production will naturally decrease, and the income will also decrease. Frequently treating guests and giving gifts naturally becomes a kind of transaction, a naked accumulation of money. In a sense, this trend can even be said to be an alternative "market economy". Some people try their best to create "market demand" or "market platform". Many individuals and families drift with the tide, constantly increasing their burdens, and even there is a strange circle of borrowing money to treat guests and give gifts.
Giving gifts to guests frequently not only increases the burden on individuals and families, but also wastes the social cost greatly. Modern society is changing with each passing day, the pace of urban and rural construction and development is getting faster and faster, and all walks of life are busy in the process of society. There are more and more banquets for guests, and many people are constantly interspersed in these various banquets. A farmer delayed his work for a day or two for this banquet; A worker asked for leave for this banquet and his salary was discounted again; A teacher delayed the class of a group of students for this banquet; Doctors, civil servants, bosses ... how much energy, time and business have been lost for this banquet. Two, ten, a hundred, even more? Is the banquet two, three, ten, a hundred or even more? What is the loss? It is simply incalculable!
Frequent giving gifts to guests is not only a wasteful consumption of guests, but also encourages the social atmosphere of comparison and even extravagance. Whose scale is large; Who invited more guests? Who receives more gifts ... people who don't hold banquets at happy events are often ridiculed, said to be generous, stingy and so on. Sometimes it even becomes a means or excuse for some individual places and officials to collect money. People just seek a little spiritual comfort in the atmosphere of a glass of wine. Civilized and healthy lifestyles are declining.
In short, this trend can't last long. This social phenomenon cannot continue. The government, social organizations, media and people of insight from all walks of life should discourage and guide this trend. Guide the positive, civilized and healthy traditional culture, at the same time, change people's concepts and ideas, and consciously persuade people around them not to be keen on this trend. In order to purify the social atmosphere of our society, we should strive to create a positive, healthy and civilized lifestyle, so as to continuously improve our quality of life.
I vaguely remember that at the beginning of the coastal economic reform and opening up, when the economy began to be active, there were similar social phenomena. More than 30 years have passed, and we can't make the same mistake again. The author watered it in the way of Shanghainese. In the past, people often ridiculed Shanghainese that they always used small bowls to entertain guests, but now this kind of bowl has become the standard appliance in China catering industry. Be alert!
